2017 Street Resurfacing & Reconstruction Program Announced
A total of 5.80 miles of streets will be resurfaced in 2017 as part of this program.
From the village of Arlington Heights: The Village’s Street Resurfacing Program will begin later in May with Arrow Road Construction, Inc., and the Street Reconstruction Program will be completed by Johnson Paving Company.
In the 2017 Budget, $8 million has been budgeted for street programs, which includes street resurfacing, street reconstruction, and pavement rejuvenation for asphalt streets completed in recent resurfacing and reconstruction programs.
The Village also conducts an in-house paving program through the Public Works Department that helps extend the life of Village streets before needing resurfacing, rehabilitation or reconstruction. Streets listed for this year’s asphalt maintenance program are listed at the end of this article.
Each year, a team from the Engineering and Public Works Departments examine the Village’s street network to assess the condition of streets. Streets selected for the resurfacing program are in the beginning stages of deterioration, and the resurfacing program is intended to extend the life of the street. Intermittent curb and sidewalk are also removed and replaced as needed before the street is milled and resurfaced.
A map of the Village Road Projects will be available soon and will be uploaded to the website.
2017 Resurfacing Program List
A total of 5.80 miles of streets will be resurfaced in 2017 as part of this program. Residents living on streets scheduled for resurfacing will be mailed construction notices in advance of any activity. Once work begins on a street, construction will take approximately 4-6 weeks to complete. For any questions regarding the resurfacing projects listed below, please email Nanci Julius of the Engineering Department at njulius@vah.com or call 847-368-5255.

Once work begins on a street, construction will take approximately 10-12 weeks to complete, but the most disruptive work will take approximately 4-6 weeks. For questions regarding the reconstruction projects listed below, please email Briget Schwab of the Engineering Department at bschwab@vah.com , reconstructionprograms@vah.com, or call 847-368-5257.
Streets selected for Street Reconstruction are in worse condition then streets selected for resurfacing. These streets are at a stage of deterioration where the curb and gutter is no longer functioning properly, subbase failure is observed, and the main part of the street is in poor condition.
The entire street is removed down to the subgrade including the curb and gutter. The curb and gutter is installed and the street is replaced with full depth asphalt. This project may also require grade changes so the driveway approaches are completely removed and replaced from the sidewalk to the curb. This project also includes intermittent sidewalk and drainage structure repair.

2017 Pavement Rejuvenation
Pavement rejuvenation was completed as a field test on a few streets in the Village in 2013 and 2014 by applying Reclamite, which is an emulsion made up of specific petroleum oils and resins and was formulated to extend the life cycle of asphalt pavement by restoring and preserving the asphalt’s binder. This field test has been successful, and Reclamite will be applied to all streets completed in 2016, as well as two streets that were reconstructed in 2015. Residents will be mailed notices by the Engineering Department, and will also be notified by the contractor prior to the Reclamite application process.
